Brass: Birmingham is a deep strategy board game set during the Industrial Revolution in England. Players take on the role of entrepreneurs aiming to build a successful network of industries and canals or railways across Birmingham and the surrounding regions. The game emphasizes careful planning, resource management, and timing, as players must balance investing in industries like coal, iron, cotton, and manufactured goods while expanding their transportation networks. Unlike many economic games, Brass: Birmingham features dynamic market demands and fluctuating prices, rewarding players who can adapt their strategies over two phases: the Canal Era and the Rail Era. With elegant mechanics, intricate player interaction, and high replayability, it’s a game that challenges both tactical decisions and long-term strategic thinking, making it a favorite for strategy board game enthusiasts.
